Answer:
y=3/2x+18
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We are given a point (-6,9) and a slope of 3/2
We want to write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form
Slope-intercept form is written as y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Since we already know the slope of the line as 3/2, we can substitute it as m into the equation:
y=3/2x+b
Now let's find b
Since the equation of the line passes through (-6,9), we can use it to help solve for b
Substitute -6 as x and 9 as y:
9=3/2(-6)+b
Multiply
9=-9+b
Add 9 to both sides
18=b
Substitute 18 as b into the equation.
y=3/2x+18
Hope this helps!
The width would be 90.
900/100=90
Since it give you the over all square yards, you take that number and divide it by what ever the number would be and that gives you the answer.
Answer: C) 5
--------------
x = independent variable, y = dependent variable
Assuming this is a linear function, each increase of x by 2 leads to y going up by 10. So 10/2 = 5 is the unit increase each time x bumps up by 1.
-------------------
An alternative is to use the slope formula to get
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (25 - 15)/(4 - 2)
m = 10/2 <--- this expression shows up again
m = 5 <---- leading to the same answer as before
So we see that the slope formula is a more drawn out method to finding the answer.
